Miss President wants to talk to you

"Mr. Hopkins?"

She asked tentatively, "What happened?"

"close the door."

"Eleanor said expressionlessly."

Edgar obeyed, turned around, closed the door, and then walked up to Eleanor.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the other person say coldly.

"Edgar, a ghost has entered our house, do you know that?"

Edgar stood there, completely stunned.

Eleanor was using slang, meaning that there was espionage or infiltration activity within the White House.

is this real?

I didn't hear a thing!

"A listening device has been placed in the president's office."

Eleanor said, word by word, "This thing has been sitting there for several days."

"And you, the FBI Director, are in charge of counterinfiltration work at the White House."

"You knew absolutely nothing about this?"

In Norton Commonwealth, security for the White House is generally handled by the Secret Service and the White House Guard Regiment.

But since Roseve expanded the powers of the FBI last time.

They then handed over the White House's counterinfiltration, counterespionage, and technical security inspections to the Bureau of Investigation.

When Rosef was being wiretapped, Edgar was naturally the person in charge.

But Edgar was completely bewildered.

Eavesdropping device?

Her first reaction was that it was impossible.

It's not like I haven't eavesdropped on others before.

In the past, in order to combat gangs, the Bureau of Investigation sometimes needed to monitor a target.

To achieve their goal, they often need to rent adjacent apartments or hotel rooms.

Then, taking advantage of the absence of others, they entered the room of the target they were monitoring.

Drilling holes, hiding microphones, running telephone lines, and then using furniture and curtains to cover up piles of batteries and amplifiers...

The scale of the operation was no different from moving house.

Who could be so well-connected as to do something like this in the Oval Office?

"It seems you have absolutely no idea."

Eleanor said, "They're using a miniature wireless eavesdropping device. You've never heard of such a thing before?"

Edgar felt more and more that Eleanor's words were incomprehensible.

As an intelligence operative, she naturally kept a close eye on cutting-edge surveillance technologies.

I've also heard about the concept of "miniature wireless eavesdropping devices".

But with current technology, it's simply impossible!

"Mr. Eleanor, are you sure you're not joking?"

Edgar tried to defend himself, "Miniature wireless eavesdropping devices can't be manufactured right now..."

She wondered if Eleanor had recently become engrossed in some science fiction novels, causing him to lose sight of reality.

"Can't it be manufactured?"

Eleanor opened the notebook in front of her and casually sketched a simple design.

Then it was handed to Edgar.

"Look at yourself, can't this design be manufactured?"

Edgar looked down and saw the design drawing.

A passive resonant eavesdropping device, consisting of a metal diaphragm and a metal needle...

The more Edgar looked, the more alarmed he became.

She was skilled in eavesdropping techniques; after just a quick mental simulation, she immediately knew that the plan was absolutely feasible!

There are no technical obstacles; with existing technology, it can be easily accomplished!

"Did you understand?"

"Elino asked."

"I understand."

Edgar remained staring at the blueprints, completely absorbed in the ingenious ideas.

With this eavesdropping technology, the efficiency of the investigation bureau will see a qualitative leap!

It wasn't until she looked up again that she realized there was no joy on Eleanor's face.

"Since you understand it, you should know this."

Eleanor said, "This is how easy it is to hide and how difficult it is to be detected by routine checks."

The excitement on Edgar's face suddenly vanished.

She then realized that Eleanor had just mentioned the president being wiretapped.

Is it

"It's already in the Oval Office."

Eleanor said, "The Bureau of Investigation's counterinfiltration efforts have had no effect whatsoever."

Edgar's face gradually turned pale.

She could certainly understand how serious the Bureau of Investigation's dereliction of duty was!

However, such a device had never appeared before.

It has no batteries, no wiring, and is surprisingly small.

It's understandable that the Bureau of Investigation agents couldn't detect it.

But dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty.

Edgar was speechless. She lowered her head and said, "Mr. Elinor, I was wrong..."

"Wrong? You committed a crime!"

Eleanor slammed his hand on the table and cursed.

"Even though this device is small, it doesn't just appear out of thin air."

"It was placed inside a wooden carving of a bald eagle, something that had never been seen in the White House before."

"If the Bureau of Investigation can't find the listening device, surely they can find this wood carving?"

"How can you allow someone to bring something of unknown origin into the president's office!"

"How are you going to explain this to the president?"

"What if, due to the Bureau of Investigation's mistakes, White House secrets were leaked to other countries?"

"How much harm have you brought to the Federation and the people!"

That's what Eleanor was really angry about.

It's understandable that the Bureau of Investigation didn't find any listening devices; after all, they had never seen this kind of technology before.

However, the investigation bureau cannot completely shirk responsibility for the presence of the wood carving in the office.

This time it's a wood carving.

What if it's a bomb next time?

So Eleanor's words were harsh, leaving no room for leniency.

Edgar's eyes quickly reddened.

She bit her lip, her vision growing increasingly blurry.

“Mr. Hopkins…”

Her voice was already trembling, "I will take responsibility."

How will we take responsibility?

Eleanor asked, "Resign? Now you're leaving the position vacant so someone else can clean up your mess?"

Edgar dared not answer.

Wipe away your tears.

Eleanor said, "Now you still have a chance to redeem yourself. Think carefully about how this thing got into the White House!"

Edgar took a deep breath and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Yes! To atone for one's sins with meritorious deeds!

As long as I handle this matter cleanly and efficiently.

Given Eleanor's character, he probably wouldn't really give up on himself.

But where should we begin?

First and foremost, we must trace the eavesdropping signals and find the eavesdroppers.

Then, we need to find out who brought the wood carving into the White House.
